a complex number is a rational number?

fasteddie65 said:Complex numbers are a separate set of numbers from the real numbers. Not so Fast, Eddie. You need to follow Elizabeth's response.
The set of real numbers is a subset of the set of complex numbers.
Rational numbers are a subset of the set of real numbers. This statement is correct.
So complex numbers are not rational. Not all complex numbers are rational, but an infinite number of them are.
